That worked as well as placing code to put the dates in the text box on loading
of the form.
Thanks!

Subject: **SPAM**RE: [ms_access] Automate text box with readable date
The problem may be that =Now() returns a date and time value. Perhaps
=Date() would work better for you.
I would add =Date() to the default value of the textbox.

Subject: [ms_access] Automate text box with readable date
If I want to automate a text box with today's date to be used in a
query how
would I do that?
I have placed =now() for a date to be automatically placed in the box
when
the form opens but the query does not see the date. It is as if the date
has not been entered even though it shows up. I tried placing the =now()
formula in the before update section of the text box properties, and
have
tried placing the formula in the text box itself, but the query still
does
not pick up the date and returns an empty report.
Any idea on how to get the text box to update itself when the form
opens so
the query can see the data as a date?
Thanks!
Dave
